An architectural feasibility study is an important tool for evaluating the viability of a proposed project. It assesses all aspects of the project and generates preliminary designs to explore feasibility, test market demand, and gather feedback from relevant stakeholders. The study may also include cost estimates and analysis documents to assess the feasibility of the project.

The purpose of an architectural feasibility study is to evaluate the feasibility or viability of a proposed architectural project. An architectural feasibility study is an important step in the development process, as it helps to determine the overall viability of a project and identify potential challenges or risks. It is often used to inform decision-making and guide the development of a project from concept to construction.
An architectural feasibility study considers all aspects of a proposed project, including site evaluation, budget, market demand, planning approval, and any other relevant factors.
The process involves site visits, historic site research, planning policies review and meetings with clients or their team to discuss their ideas and needs, an initial site assessment, and the creation of preliminary designs solution. This helps understand the site and its surrounding context, its limitations and potentials. Conceptual designs are then produces, these designs are used to explore the feasibility of the project and gather feedback from relevant stakeholders.
The study can provide a reality check for investors, helping to ensure that resources are not wasted on non-viable projects. It also gathers valuable feedback from relevant stakeholders, such as the planning authority, which can help the client understand any potential obstacles or requirements for the project. An architectural feasibility study can help the client make informed decisions about the project, assess its potential risks and rewards, and understand the potential outcomes of the project. Ultimately, the study can help the client make more informed decisions about whether to move forward with the project.
An architectural feasibility study is typically conducted as the first design stage of the development process, before significant resources are invested in a project. It is an important step in the process of evaluating the feasibility of a proposed project.
